Bringing Matthews, NC Homes Back to Life
Matthews, NC represents everything we love about the Charlotte metro area – established neighborhoods with character, growing families who value their homes, and a community that takes pride in property maintenance and improvement. Our work throughout Matthews has shown us that homeowners here understand the importance of protecting their investment while creating spaces that work better for modern living. From the tree-lined streets near downtown Matthews to the newer developments spreading toward Union County, we’ve helped transform houses into homes that owners can feel proud of for years to come.
The unique climate challenges in Matthews, with our hot humid summers and occasional winter ice storms, make exterior remodeling especially important. We’ve seen firsthand how the right siding and roofing choices can dramatically reduce energy costs while protecting homes from moisture damage that’s all too common in our area. Our LP SmartSide Master certification means we can offer Matthews homeowners advanced engineered wood solutions that stand up to our weather patterns far better than traditional materials.
Understanding Matthews’ Architectural Landscape
Matthews features an interesting mix of architectural styles, from 1960s ranch homes to Colonial revivals and contemporary builds. Each style presents unique opportunities and challenges when planning exterior renovations. We’ve worked on countless ranch-style homes where adding James Hardie siding completely transformed their curb appeal, taking them from dated to distinguished. The vertical lines and clean profiles of modern fiber cement siding can make these single-story homes appear larger and more substantial.
In the established neighborhoods around Squirrel Lake and Elizabeth Lane, we often encounter homes with original wood siding that’s reaching the end of its lifespan. These projects require careful attention to architectural details – preserving the character that makes these neighborhoods special while upgrading to materials that will last decades longer than the originals. Our expertise as a James Hardie installer allows us to match profiles and create seamless transitions that honor the home’s original design intent.
Maximizing Outdoor Living in Matthews
Matthews residents love their outdoor spaces, and we’ve built some incredible screen rooms and decks that extend living areas into the beautiful North Carolina weather. The moderate climate here means a well-designed screened porch can be enjoyed nearly year-round. As a Motorized Screen Rooms Installer, we can create flexible spaces that open completely on perfect spring days or close tight against summer storms and winter winds.
We recently completed a project near Matthews-Mint Hill Park where the homeowners wanted to create an outdoor kitchen and entertainment area. By combining a covered deck structure with motorized screens, we gave them the flexibility to host gatherings regardless of weather or bugs – a common concern during our humid summer evenings. The investment not only improved their quality of life but added significant value to their property in a market where outdoor living spaces are increasingly important to buyers.
Energy Innovation and Sustainability
As an Authorized Tesla Solar Shingle Installer, we’re bringing cutting-edge energy solutions to Matthews homes. The combination of a new roof with integrated solar technology represents the future of home improvement – addressing immediate needs while planning for long-term energy independence. Matthews’ relatively flat terrain and minimal tree coverage in many neighborhoods make it ideal for solar applications.
The financial benefits extend beyond monthly utility savings. Professional home remodeling can be costly upfront, but in the long run can add equity as well as increase property values. We’ve seen Matthews homes with comprehensive exterior upgrades – new siding, roofing, and energy-efficient windows – appraise significantly higher than comparable properties with original exteriors.
